Creating a Scrapbook For Your High School Reunion

It’s been 30 years since you graduated from high school. You may have children of your own who have now graduated from high school, or you may have children who are in high school.

You’ve received the invitation to attend the reunion. You are so excited to see those you have lost track of over the years, those you’d love to catch up with and possibly rekindle friendships with.

You are actually on the committee working on the reunion. Why not ask everyone to send in a few photos of themselves, whether they plan on attending or not. If you have the photos in enough time, you can actually put the scrapbook online for everyone to see.

How fun to have folks send in both a photo as they looked in high school and also a photo of how they look today.

I know when I attended my 10 year reunion, they asked everyone a few questions on the registration form, such as your career field, how many kids you have etc. They then announced what they thought was the “most out there profession”, the person with the most kids and the person who had traveled the furthest to be there.

Getting all of this information and adding this data alongside the photo (s) and then putting this into an online scrapbook allows everyone to view the information and photos.

Pull out an old yearbook. Scan some of the photos from the football team, the band, the wrestling team, the theater and add these photos to your online scrapbook. My yearbooks are packed in boxes somewhere. I’ve not seen them in so many years, it would be so much fun to view.

During the reunion make sure plenty of photos are taken of old friends reuniting. These can be added to the online scrapbook for everyone to see, both those who did attend and those who did not.

If you are in charge of scheduling, plan a picnic the next day for families. There may be those who could not afford the cost of the reunion. Plan a picnic where everyone can come. Again, take lots of photos and add them to the online scrapbook.

For those who don’t live local and are not able to attend these events, it is so nice to be able to view the online scrapbook of friends from another time in life.
